Should Prince sue for these....

With all the talk re the Italian plagairism case and the Rihanna song, how about this one. It has been played on Triple J in Australia for a number of months but I only found out today that Prince may not be credited although the artist lists Prince as an influence.

http://au.youtube.com/wat...awNY6uw8f4

I won't even list which riff and from which song it has been lifted as any Prince listener with a catalogue that goes well back will know immediately which song it is.


I found another of Miami Horror's songs on youtube that I had forgotten about. I may have jumped the gun on Prince not getting any credits. I got that from a 3rd party blog and not officially. If anyone has the EP then it would be interesting if you can find out if there are any credits.

If anyone knows where to check the credits online then the song is Summerfest 86 by Miami Horror.

And whilst you are at it check out the credits on Miami Horror-Don't Be On With Her. That will be interesting too-check it out. Not as good as Summerfest though.

Again very obvious from the first bar.

319,

it is a great song and is likely to get into Triple J's Hottest 100 songs from 2008 and be fairly high up (list comes out on Jan 26th).

Just a shame Prince isn't getting credit.

1) What' sup myFavorite's butt?

2) Are you sure this wasn't SUPPOSED to be an instrumental version of Bambi?

And why are people talking about 319?

"Don't Be On With Her" is hot, and hilarious. lol It reminds me of parodies of artists on shows like MadTV when they slightly change the person's song by altering the notes in the melody in order to avoid copyright infringement. LOL.

Theres no way in hell Prince doesn't know about these.

He is on the ball and they have to get his permission by him personally before they release it.

Let's see if I can't put this in simple terms:

Don't give out links to videos related to Prince (yes this includes the video link posted above) so that web sherrif won't take them down and/or cause problems.

Aka shhh or stfu ty

If Prince wasn't going to sue before, you certainly gave him a new reason to by linking us to the damn song. Not very smart.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
